Wow, stock market plunged 140+ points today...
over the job situation and 'oil prices'.

Uh, oil prices can only continue to go up. Oil doesn't grow on trees. Just another reason why capitalism will be the death of us all, forget that it strips people of souls...

2. Great, so will "Market Place" on NPR play Stormy Weather
... with the rain and thunder sound effects? They only play this version when stating stock market numbers are really bad.

3. I think that they will have to switch to "Who'll Stop the Rain?" instead.

4. IF this is what it takes to get Chimpy out
Fine, let those little idiots that are financial brains figure it out. Idiots in chief are bad for the economy.

There goes my pension. It's worth it to save Democracy.

5. I'd be willing to lose my pension for Kucinich or other liberal.
From my perception, Kerry's a centrist though the media loves to call him a big-time liberal.

If I knew there was a chance of total reform that Kucinich would create, I would give it up because the future would be better.

I see some thigs better with Kerry, but nowhere near enough. :-(
